Just a tip for hardware: don’t buy anything unless you really know what you need. Just start tinkering with some old computer/laptop. Most services will run fine on anything up to ~10 years old stuff

Seems like they have the same chip. I didn’t buy for the price in the store, it seems to change frequently

Yes, that one, thanks!

What’s the white device in top/what are your using it for?

I’m not sure you need a GPU, and Jellyfin docs state:

AMD is NOT recommended if you plan to use integrated graphics for Jellyfin.

I don’t run Jellyfin but my NAS is also TrueNAS and it’s just a J5005-ITX Mainboard with integrated cpu that costs around 100€ used. I’ve seen similar newer ones with n100 with 6 SATA ports. Pretty sure you don’t need an 8 core and you mentioned power consumption is relevant.

I got these: https://www.pearl.de/a-ZX7311-3110.shtml;jsessionid=nAF84CDBD95715305C44924424332C488?vid=953&curr=DEM

Not sure how precise they really are but they connected easily. Have them running for 34 months now, they run for months on rechargable AAA (I got high quality ones, Varta I think)

Sure, I’m not arguing against Anubis! I just don’t think the added compute cost is sufficient to keep them out once they adjust.

They don’t have to do anything but let an unknown program to max their cpu unauthorized.

But they currently can’t and that’s the point.

No, it works because the scraper bots don’t have it implemented yet. Of course the companies would rather not spend additional compute resources, but their pockets are deep and some already adapted and solve the challenges.

“good old captcha” is the most annoying thing ever for people and basically universally hated. Talking about leaving the page, what do you think what will cause more people to leave the page, a captcha that’s often broken or something where people don’t have to do anything but wait a little?

If you don’t mind the downtime, I’d turn it off, disconnect hba and all but the boot disk and boot up to see how much power they take. HBA can take a lot. You could also consider spinning down your HDD if they don’t need them that often

Cool article, thanks for linking! Not sure about that being a new development though, it’s just results, but we already knew it’s working. The question is, what’s going to work once the scrapers adapt?

Don’t worry, it’s not boat life. I barely ever touch the system and am just using my programs. Settling might take a while, especially if everything is new I guess

What other hardware does it have? HDDs draw a lot, GPU of course, but also each active network interface etc.

That’s basically how it’s done. Searching for them isn’t enough I think, in order to get updates, a user from your instance needs to subscribe, so a crawler might create a list of communities, but it won’t see news.

Yes, starting a new instance is tedious work.

Even if one would want to give them everything, they don’t care. They just burn through their resources and recursively scrape every single link on your page. Providing standardized database dumps is absolutely not helping against your server being overloaded by scrapers of various companies with deep pockets.

Cool, thanks for posting! Also the reasoning for the image is cool.

Yeah, I’m just wondering what’s going to follow. I just hope everything isn’t going to need to go behind an authwall.

I don’t run Jellyfin yet, does it or symphonium support playlists? I guess generally some kind of recommendation algorithm would be nice, but would need some third party metadata like from last.fm

Only boring thing in this thread is your post
